Once the human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) enters your body, it launches a direct attack on your immune system. As the virus replicates, it damages or destroys the infected cd4+ cell and produces more virus to infect more cd4+ cells. Within the context of hiv, an elevated wbc typically means that your body is actively fighting an infection, the symptoms of which may or may not be evident. Other tests can be used the pinpoint the exact cause for these changes. By contrast, a low wbc suggests that some disorder, either hiv-related or non-hiv-related, is affecting the bone marrow?s ability to produce white blood cells. When this condition (called cytopenia or leukopenia) occurs, the body is less able to fight infection.
